- Application filed December 12', 1931; Serial No. 580,513.

This invention relates tonew and useful improvements in a doll andprooessfor manufacturing the same.

The invention has for an object the con- 5 struction of a doll which ischaracterized by the provision of rubberized or gunnned ravelprooffabric appliqued thereon to form the features thereof andsuppl'ementarily secured with stitches.

As a further object of this invention it is propose'd'to construct thedoll from a variety of colored fabrics pieced together so that itresembles a dressed doll, and to stud this material in the formation ofthe doll proper.

Furthermore, as another object of this in ventionisproposed to form thefeatures of: the doll by placing preshaped and cut gumincd ravel proofapplique material or patches upon the material of the doll and 30moving. the cut applique pieces with ones finger along to positionswhich produce satisfactory expressions either by skill or by followingpreprint'ed outlines on the face or other part of the doll, andthereafter stitching the applique in place.

Furthermore, the invention also proposes superimposed applique arrangedon an already appliqued surface so that the upper ones may be rearrangedor removed to change the expression of the doll.

Another object of this invention is the construction of an article ofthe class described which is of simple, durable construction, dependablein use and efficient in operation,

which can be manufactured and sold at reasonable cost.

For further comprehension of the inve-n- Fig. i is a fragmentary view ofa portion of Fig. 1 showing in detail the applique which forms theexpression of the face.

Fig. 5 is a sectional view taken on the line 55 of Fig. 4:.

Fig. 6 is a view similar to Fig. 4 but ill-ustrating a. modification.

Fig. 7 is a sectional View taken on the line 77 of Fig. 6.

The doll, according to this invention, comprises material in the form ofa doll and having preformed and cut ravelproof applique pieces orpatches 10 gummed on one side and pasted thereon for forming thefeatures there of. This pasted applique is permanently secured down bystitches 11 along the perimeters thereof. The material forming the dollis such as to simulate a completely dressed doll. The formed material isdirectly stuffed with kapok, sawdust or other similar stuiiing material12. The doll isshown to'havea head 18' provided with a hat l4 and havinga band 15 at the front. Hair 16 extends from beneath the hat. A collar17 connects the head to the body portion 18 which is decorated tosimulate a ersey. Hands 19 are shown projecting from the sleeves of thejersey. The jersey ends in a band 20 below which the legs 21 project.These legs have pieces 22 secured upon the bottom ends to simulateshoes.

The preformed applique is ravelproofed to improve the appearance of thedoll by forming finished unravel edges and is made sanitary for a childto handle since the edges do not contain removable threads.

The applique or patches 10 are formed with ravelproof material gummed at23, on the rear'sides. This gummed applique should be pressed with onesfinger in its proper place against the material of the doll and shiftedabout until it assumes a position in which the expression of the doll iswhat is desired. The gum is supplemented with stitches 11. The heat andpressure of ones finger is applied to secure the applique in positionbut still allow the applique to be shifted on thematerial of the doll bylifting or raising the applique material and thereafter replacing it inthe desired place cover the lower applique or the lower ap-' plique maybe only partially covered by the super-imposed applique. It is arrangedin place by the pressure and heat of the finger on the gummed side,lifting it to be shifted around to the best position, and then secur ingit permanently with the addition of stitches 26. The expression of thedoll may be changed by cutting the stitches 26 and removing the topapplique 24 so that the bottom applique is now exposed. 1 It is tobeunderstood that the shape, features and action of the doll may bechanged as desired and that any number of appliques or patches may besecured on any part of the doll. I Y

lVhile I have shown and described the preferred embodiment of myinvention, it is to be understood that I do not limit myself to theprecise construction herein disclosed and the right is reserved to allchanges and modifications coming within the scope of the invention asdefined in the appended claims.

Having thus described'my invention what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by United States Letters Patent is 1. A doll, comprising materialin the form of a doll, applique patches thereon to form the featuresthereof, larger applique patches over said patches to form differentfeatures thereof, and means to hold the outer applique patches in placeto allow removing to ex- .pose the inner ones.
